Your Incontinence Clinic and Specialists

A Faster, Non-Invasive Way to Get Answers. No Referral Needed.

Living with bladder or continence problems can be upsetting, isolating and frustrating, but you don’t have to put up with it, and you don’t have to wait months to be seen.

At our dedicated Urogynaecology Incontinence Clinic in Birmingham, our specialist consultants help both men and women with bladder, pelvic floor and continence issues every day.

• No GP referral needed
• No long NHS waiting lists
• Fast access to expert Urogynaecology care

Whether your symptoms are new or you’ve been living with them for years, we’re here to listen without judgement and create a personalised treatment plan that fits your life.

How We Can Help

Our Incontinence Clinic can help with a wide range of problems, including:

• Stress incontinence (leakage when you cough, laugh, sneeze or exercise)
• Urge incontinence/overactive bladder (sudden, strong urge to pass urine)
• Mixed incontinence (a combination of stress and urge symptoms)
• Frequent urination, day or night
• Difficulty “holding on” or not reaching the toilet in time
• Leaking after childbirth or during the menopause
• Pelvic floor weakness or heaviness
• Bladder control issues after gynaecological surgery

We focus on evidence-based, compassionate care, combining the expertise of gynaecology and urology, where appropriate, to address both the bladder and the pelvic floor. Our goal is simple: to give you back confidence, control and comfort in your everyday life.

Do I Need an Appointment?

Many people feel embarrassed talking about bladder problems and delay seeking help. You might think it’s:

• “Just part of getting older”
• “Normal since having children”
• “Something I just have to live with”

Incontinence is common, but it is not something you have to accept. Symptoms are often very treatable, and the sooner we see you, the more options we usually have.

You should consider booking an appointment if:

• You leak urine when you cough, laugh, lift or exercise
• You suddenly need to rush to the toilet, and sometimes don’t make it in time
• You’re planning outings around toilet access
• You’ve started wearing pads “just in case”
• Your bladder symptoms are affecting your sleep, work, relationships or confidence

You do not need a referral from your GP to see us. Simply contact us directly and we’ll arrange a convenient appointment, often far sooner than current NHS waiting times.

Treatments and Our Approach

We take a holistic, step-by-step approach, starting with the least invasive options and moving to more advanced treatments only if needed.

Your treatment plan may include:

1. Detailed Assessment

• Full review of your symptoms and medical history
• Examination of the pelvic floor and bladder function (if appropriate and with your consent)
• Bladder diary or questionnaires to understand patterns

2. Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatments

• Pelvic floor rehabilitation and exercises, often with specialist guidance
• Bladder training techniques to improve control and capacity
• Lifestyle advice (fluid intake, caffeine, weight management, bowel habits)
• Medication where appropriate for overactive bladder symptoms

3. Advanced Investigations and Procedures

If needed, we can arrange further tests or procedures, such as:

• Urodynamic studies (to assess bladder function in detail)
• Cystoscopy (a small camera to look inside the bladder)
• Imaging where indicated

4. Surgical Options

If conservative options aren’t enough, your consultant will discuss suitable surgical treatments, explaining the risks, benefits and alternatives clearly so you can make an informed choice.

At every stage, you are in control of your decisions, and we make sure you understand each option fully.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

We understand that coming to an Incontinence Clinic can feel daunting. We aim to make your visit as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

At your first consultation, you can expect:

A Detailed Conversation

• Time to talk through your symptoms, concerns and how they affect your life.
• Review of your medical, surgical and obstetric history.

Gentle, Respectful Examination (if needed)

• A pelvic examination may be recommended to assess the pelvic floor and identify any prolapse.
• This will be explained carefully beforehand and only carried out with your full consent.

Discussion of an Initial Plan

• Your consultant will explain what they think is causing your symptoms.
• You’ll discuss treatment options and any recommended tests.

Clear Next Steps

You’ll leave with a personalised plan so you know exactly what will happen next.

How to Prepare

To get the most from your appointment, it can help to:

• Keep a bladder diary for a few days (how often you go, any leaks, fluid intake) if you can
• Bring a list of any medications you’re taking
• Write down any questions or worries you’d like to discuss
• Feel free to bring a friend or family member for support if you wish

Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-ups are an important part of effective incontinence care.

At a follow-up appointment, we will:

• Review how you’re getting on with your treatment plan
• Adjust pelvic floor or bladder training exercises if needed
• Discuss any test results and what they mean
• Consider further options if your symptoms are not improving as expected

We aim to support you over time, not just at a single visit. We’ll work with you until we’ve found the most effective and comfortable way of managing or resolving your symptoms.
